Possible legal issue with EnumerationFactory?
Ciao,
while browsing the Cocoon code I came through the
org.apache.cocoon.util.EnumerationFactory class. If you take a look at
it you will notice that there is no mention of ASF copyright: actually
the source, while freely usable, look like copyrighted to an individual
(Christoph Karl Walter Grein) and looks like it has not been donated to
the ASF. Is it legal to package it as a Cocoon class? Should we change
the header to reflect the state in case it has been donated to the ASF?

Well, ask the guy if he wants to donate the source code to us (along
with copyright) or rewrite the thing ourselves.

Stefano,
What are our options? IANAL.
Thanks,

Ouch. We have to contact that guy.
BTW, who is responsible for having entered this code?

Either we have to remove it or change the header.
I'm +1 on changing the header as it seems to be used by the
ValidatorActionResult class (except the original author objects).
